Profile:

Ethelscull is an Dark Ethereal Lofi Experimental project from AmeliaPeel. The project emerged once Amelia began recording songs on a 4 track back in 1999. Always having the desire to create music and art, in her early years she was lucky to experience such a wide variety of music styles. A huge fan of Bananarama, Cyndi Lauper and Madonna started the thoughts of a music career. Being introduced to her sisters collection of punk and metal records including Generation X and Ozzy Osborne at a young age planted another seed all together. It was 120 Mintures on MTV in the mid 80s that opened the door to a huge array of bands that are still an influence to this day. It was Throwing Muses' Kristen Hersh that inspired her to want to learn how to play the guitar. Amelia dabbled in the early 90's Riot Grrrl movement and started playing music with other girls from school even though none of the bands unfortunately lasted long enough to record anything. Moving into Atlanta proved productive as she was now surrounded by more artists and musicians.
"It was during a very bad breakup that gave me a lot of alone time when I had purchased the 4 track. I used that time to start recording music as I tried to recover. The playing was quite poor back then but i was still learning. I have always been self conscious about my singing even though I knew I could sing, so the singing is very drowned out in those early recordings, but all of the words are from my notebooks and very personal".

Ethelscull self released three of her albums on Kittenwhip, a diy label she created.
Kittenwhip released a compilation cd: Mood-Swing Theater Volume One in 2004. A Volume 2 was in the works but never came to light.

Amelia has recorded music since but has not put out a official release of music under the Ethelscull name. New songs can be found on her Soundcloud page.
